His entry into professional music began under the name Sam London, with a cover of Juicy’s “Sugar Free” in 2013 and his debut EP, The Introduction, showcasing a diverse range of styles. The “October” part of his name comes from his birthday being in October. As for “London,” he explained in an interview that he saw a beautiful night picture of London on his computer and the name resonated with him.
However, October London’s major breakthrough came when he was connected to Snoop Dogg through producer Jazze Pha. After hearing London’s song “Colorblind,” Snoop Dogg expressed his desire to work with him and ultimately signed him to the newly formed Cadillacc Music, operated by Jazze Pha and Snoop, in 2016.
